Invalid Material

Why do I get the message "Invalid material" in the RF‑/STEEL add-on module when using stainless steel?


Answer:

Since there are several yield strengths for stainless steel stored in the Material Library (0.2% yield strength and 1.0% yield strength) and, strictly speaking, the add-on module does not consider any standard for the design, but performs a pure stress analysis, the user must actively decide by manually specifying the yield strength. The video shows the procedure.
